The Sellers further acknowledge thatSection 6.6(a) andSection 6.6(b) constitute a material inducement to the Buyers to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Buyers will be relying on the enforceability ofSection 6.6(a) andSection 6.6(b) in completing such transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Scope. The Parties agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of thisSection 6.6 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser period of time, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party. In the event that such a modification is not possible, then, because each obligation in thisSection 6.6 is a separate and independent covenant, any unenforceable obligation shall be severed and all remaining obligations shall be enforced.

6.7 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Matters; Seller Tax Returns. The Sellers shall, at their expense, prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns (including such Tax Returns filed pursuant to any valid extension of time to file and any amendments thereto) required to be filed prior to the applicable Closing Date by or with respect to the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, and for Subsequent Closings, each relevant Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). The Sellers shall pay (or cause to be paid) and be liable for all Taxes with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Returns(and all other Taxes attributable to (i) a Pre-Closing Tax Periodand (ii) the portion of the Straddle Period ending prior to the applicable Closing Date as determined in accordance withSection 6.7(b) (“Pre-Closing Straddle Taxes”)of any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries), and for Subsequent Closings, each relevant Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries. Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with prior practice and applicable Law, and utilizing accounting methods, elections, and conventions that do not have the effect of distorting the allocation of taxable amounts and deductions between the Tax periods covered by such Tax Returns and subsequent Tax periods;provided,however, that, to the extent relevant, any Subsidiary of an Acquired Company that is a partnership (determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall use the “interim closing of the books” method for purposes of allocating tax items to the periods before and after the applicable Closing for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) Calculation of Taxes for Straddle Period Tax Returns. Pre-Closing Straddle Taxes of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries shall be calculated as though the Tax period of the Acquired Companies and any relevant Subsidiary terminated as of the applicable Closing Date;provided,however, that (i) in the case of a Tax not based on income, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items, or a specific transaction, Pre-Closing Straddle Taxes shall be equal to the amount of Tax for the entire Straddle Period,multiplied by a fraction the numerator of whichis the number of days from the beginning of the Straddle Period through the applicable Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) to the extent that any Tax is based on the greater of a Tax on income, receipts, proceeds, or profits, or similar items on the one hand, and a Tax measured by net worth or some other basis not otherwise measured by income, receipts, proceeds, or profits on the other hand, the portion of such Tax is a Pre-Closing Straddle Tax shall be deemed to be (i) if the amount of such Tax for the Straddle Period is measured by net worth or such other basis, the amount of such Tax determined as though the taxable values for the entire Straddle Period equal the respective values as of the applicable Closing Date and multiplying the amount of such Tax by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days from the beginning of the Straddle Period through the applicable Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period, or (ii) if the amount of such Tax for the Straddle Period is measured by income, receipts, proceeds, or profits, or similar items, the amount of such Tax determined as though the Straddle Period terminated at the applicable Closing Date. In the case of a Tax that is (x) paid for the privilege of doing business during a period (a “Privilege Period”) and (y) computed based on business activity occurring during an accounting period ending prior to the Privilege Period, any reference to a “Tax period,” a “tax period” or a “taxable period” means such accounting period and not the Privilege Period. For purposes of thisSection 6.7(b), any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis (e.g., cost recovery deductions) will be taken into account in calculating Pre-Closing Straddle Taxes on aprorata basis by multiplying the total amount of such item by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the beginning of the Straddle Period through the applicable Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period. All Taxes of the Acquired Companies and its Subsidiaries that occur as a result of the Restructuring shall be Pre-Closing Straddle Taxes.

(c) Tax Indemnity. The Sellers shall be liable for and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyers and their Affiliates from, against and in respect of any and all Tax claims resulting from, arising out of or relating to: (a) any Taxes imposed on or with respect to any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and any Pre-Closing Straddle Taxes, and any other amounts for which the Sellers are liable or required to pay pursuant toSection 6.7; (b) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty set forth inSection 4.10; (c) any breach or failure to comply with any covenant or obligation with respect to Taxes or Tax matters set forth in this Agreement; (d) all Taxes of any member of an Consolidated Tax Group of which any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries) is or was a member prior to the applicable Closing, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any state, local, provincial or non-U.S. analogue; (e) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, or on the Buyers or any of their Affiliates, as a transferee or successor or pursuant to any Law, in each case as a result of any event, action, relationship, omission, or transaction occurring before the applicable Closing; (f) any Taxes associated with any items of income in, or exclusions of any item of deduction or credit from, taxable income for any Tax period under (1) Section 481 or Section 482 of the Code; (2) an installment sale or “open transaction” disposition made on or prior to the applicable Closing Date; (3) a prepaid amount received, or paid, prior to the applicable Closing Date, (4) deferred income or gain arising from a transaction or event occurring prior to the applicable Closing Date, or (5) an election under Section 108(i) of the Code; and (g) for the sake of clarity, their own Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of the Sellers pursuant to thisSection 6.7(c) shall survive until six (6) months after the expiration of the longest applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions or waivers thereof).

(d) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and any other similar Taxes and related fees (including any penalties, interest and additions thereto) (“Transfer Taxes”) arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, regardless of the Party upon whom such Transfer Taxes are legally imposed, shall be paid one-half by the Sellers, on the one hand, and one-half by the Buyers, on the other hand. The Buyers shall bear sole responsibility for preparing and timely filing all necessary Tax Returns relating to any Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable Law, the Sellers shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(e) Tax Treatment of the Transaction. The Parties agree and acknowledge that (i) the acquisition of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries is intended to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a purchase (by CBTC Buyer and CBTC PA Buyer) and sale (by the relevant Sellers) of (A) equity interests in the Copper Beech Entity owned by each Acquired Company at the Initial Closing, and (B) the relevant Subsidiary Equity Interests at Subsequent Closings, and (ii) the Acquired Companies shall not have a taxable year that begins prior to or as a result of the applicable Closing. The Parties shall not (and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) take any action or position inconsistent with such treatment for all relevant tax purposes.

6.8 Notification of Certain Matters. From the date of this Agreement until the Final Closing Date, the Sellers shall give prompt notice to the Buyer Parties, and the Buyer Parties shall give prompt notice to the Sellers, of any written notice or other written communication received by such Party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, from the date hereof to the Final Closing, each of the Buyer Parties and the Sellers shall give prompt notice to the other Party upon first becoming aware of any event, change, effect or circumstance that is reasonably likely to prevent or delay the satisfaction of the conditions to any Closing under this Agreement.

6.9 Financing Cooperation. Upon the request of the CCG, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by CCG in connection with its efforts to consummate the Equity Offering; provided that such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Acquired Company and their Subsidiaries. Such commercially reasonable efforts shall include, to the extent reasonably requested by CCG, (a) making available to CCG appropriate personnel of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, (b) providing, as promptly as reasonably practicable, information relating to the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries to the extent reasonably requested by CCG to assist in preparation of customary offering or information documents to be used for the completion of the Equity Offering, and (c) assisting CCG in obtaining customary comfort letters and consents of the independent accountants of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, including with respect to the auditor consents in connection with any filings with the SEC. CCG shall promptly, upon request by the Sellers, reimburse the Sellers for all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Sellers or their respective Representatives in connection with their respective obligations pursuant to, and in accordance with, thisSection 6.9, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers, the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all damages, losses, costs, liabilities or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the consummation of the Equity Offering and any information used in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Sellers, any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries) and all other actions taken by the Sellers, the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives pursuant to thisSection 6.9.

6.10 Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) If, prior to the applicable Closing Date, a Property is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty or a Subsidiary receives notice or the Sellers obtains Knowledge of condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of a Property, the Sellers shall notify the Buyers of that event and provide the Buyers with details of the extent of the damage or condemnation. The Buyers shall be bound to purchase the Membership Interests for the full Initial Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to Properties or destruction of Improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of a Property.

(b) The Sellers will obtain the Buyer’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, concerning any restoration, repair or re-construction plans for any Property affected by a casualty or condemnation between the date hereof and the applicable Closing. Seller shall conduct all such restoration, repair and reconstruction substantially in accordance with such restoration, repair and reconstruction plans approved by the Buyers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers will be permitted to incur or enter into an agreement to incur any amount reasonably necessary to effect emergency or necessary repairs related to preservation of the Property or health and safety matters or which are required by the terms of any lease, loan document or other agreement to which any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries is a party.

6.11 Funding of New Developments. The Parties hereby agree to cooperate in good faith to identify and agree upon student housing property development projects. For each of the first three (3) years following the Initial Closing, CCG shall contribute up to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) annually to the Acquired Companies to fund the development of new student housing properties to the extent such property developments are agreed upon by the Parties.

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement, any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or any Transaction Document shall survive the Final Closing through and until the date that is three (3) years after the Final Closing Date;provided,however, that:

(a) the representations and warranties of the Sellers (i) set forth inSections 3.1 (Organization),3.2 (Authorization),3.4 (Ownership),4.1 (Organization),4.2 (Authorization) and4.4 (Capitalization) shall survive the Final Closing indefinitely and (ii) set forth inSections 4.5 (Environmental),4.10 (Taxes) and4.15 (Employee Benefit Plans) shall survive the Final Closing until the date that is the later of (A) three (3) years after the Final Closing Date and (B) six (6) months after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (after giving effect to any extensions or waivers) (such representations and warranties described in the abovementioned clauses (i) and (ii), the “Fundamental Representations”); and

(b) the covenants set forth inSection 6.7 shall survive the Final Closing until the date that is six (6) months after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (after giving effect to any extensions or waivers) (in each case, the “Survival Period”).

provided,however, that any obligations underSections 8.2(a)(i) and8.2(b)(i) shall not terminate with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses as to which the Person to be indemnified pursuant to thisArticle VIII (the “Indemnified Party”) shall have given notice to the indemnifying party pursuant to thisArticle VIII (the “Indemnifying Party”) before the termination of the applicable Survival Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Buyers do not exercise a Purchase Option, other than the Fundamental Representations and the covenants set forth inSection 6.7, which shall survive in accordance withSections 8.1(a) and8.1(b) above, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or any Transaction Document shall survive the Final Closing through and until the date that is the earlier of (x) three (3) years after the Final Closing Date or (y) one (1) year after the expiration date of a Purchase Option not exercised by the Buyers. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all of the covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed unless such covenant or agreement has an express termination date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or gross negligence on the part of any Party to this Agreement shall survive indefinitely.

8.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the applicable Closing and subject toSections 8.1 and8.4 hereof, the Sellers hereby agree to severally and not jointly with respect to Article III, and jointly and severally with respect to Article IV, indemnify and hold the Buyer Parties, each Acquired Company and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, Affiliates, shareholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all Losses, whether or not involving a Third Party Claim (individually, an “Indemnifiable Loss” and, collectively, “Indemnifiable Losses”) based upon, attributable to or resulting from:

(i) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by the Sellers in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document to be true and correct in all respects at and as of the applicable Closing;

(ii) the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of any of the Sellers or the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(iii) any liability of Sellers underSection 6.7(d)or any breach of the covenants set forth inSection 6.7;

(iv) any Transaction Expenses that are not paid at or prior to the Initial Closing (and not taken into account for purposes of determining the Initial Closing Cash Payment); or

(v) any claims of brokers or finders engaged by the Sellers.

(b) From and after the applicable Closing and subject toSections 8.1 and 8.4, the Buyer Parties hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, shareholders, members, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Seller Indemnified Parties the amount of any and all Indemnifiable Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from:

(i) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by the Buyers in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document to be true and correct in all respects at and as of the applicable Closing;

(ii) the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Buyers under this Agreement or any Transaction Document; and

(iii) any claims of brokers or finders engaged by the Buyer Parties.

(c) The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or any Transaction Documents shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the applicable Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreements, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

(d) For the sole purpose of determining Indemnifiable Losses (and not for determining whether any breach of any representation or warranty has occurred), any representations or warranties of the Seller shall not be deemed qualified by any references to materiality or to Seller Material Adverse Effect.

8.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event the Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, to the Sellers’ Representative on their behalf);provided,however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with thisArticle VIII, except to the extent such failure has prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which indemnification may be sought underSection 8.2 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event the Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, to the Sellers’ Representative on their behalf). The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt written notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto, except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Subject to the provisions of thisSection 8.3, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Indemnifiable Losses indemnified against hereunder;provided,however, that the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event the Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, the Sellers’ Representative on their behalf) shall have acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event the Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, the Sellers’ Representative on their behalf) elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Indemnifiable Losses indemnified by it hereunder, it shall within twenty (20) days of the Indemnified Party’s written notice of the assertion of such Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the election shall conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to relief under this Agreement for any Loss arising from or in connection with such Third Party Claim (subject to the provisions ofSection 8.4);provided,however, that such election shall not conclusively establish the nature, category or amount of such Loss arising from or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event the Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, the Sellers’ Representative on their behalf) elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Indemnifiable Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Indemnifiable Losses under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party defends any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event the Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, the Sellers’ Representative on their behalf) shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in any such defense with separate counsel with the reasonable expense of such counsel borne by the Indemnified Party. The Parties agree to provide reasonable access to the other to such non-privileged documents and information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Third Party Claim (i) seeks relief other than the payment of monetary damages or would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would materially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or would result in the imposition of a criminal penalty, (ii) seeks a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iii) would result in any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be fully and promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party, then, in each such case, (A) the Indemnifying Party (or the Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be) shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim (and no such settlement or compromise shall include any of the matters set forth in (i) or (ii) above without Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion)) and (B) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel, with the reasonable expense of such counsel borne by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have reached an agreement, in each case with respect to an indemnifiable claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event the Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, the Sellers’ Representative on their behalf), notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of such remaining sums so due and owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(d) Except with respect to any claim based upon fraud or intentional misrepresentation, for which there shall be no limitations imposed by this Agreement, following the applicable Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedy for any Indemnifiable Loss pursuant to thisArticle VIII by the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, or any of them, shall be indemnity pursuant to thisArticle VIII. Except for indemnification pursuant to thisArticle VII and except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties hereby waive and release any statutory, equitable or common law rights or remedies they may have against any Indemnifying Party relating to environmental matters, including any such matters arising under Environmental Laws or in any way related to Hazardous Materials, Environmental Claims or Environmental Permits.

8.4 Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a) Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer Parties shall be required to indemnify any Person underSection 8.2(a)(i) or8.2(b)(i), (i) unless the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses pursuant toSections 8.2(a)(i) or8.2(b)(i), as applicable, exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Basket”), in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers or the Buyer Parties, as applicable, shall be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless for only those Indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Basket, or (ii) for an aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses exceeding Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000) (the “Cap”), in connection with Indemnifiable Losses related to the breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties of the Sellers or the Acquired Companies inArticles III and IV or the Buyer Parties inArticle V;provided that there shall be no Basket or Cap with respect to Indemnifiable Losses related to the breach or inaccuracy of any of the Fundamental Representations, for breaches of or, for the sake of clarity, any amount due underSection 6.7 or in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(b) The Sellers and the Buyer Parties agree that the Basket and Cap amounts agreed herein assume that the Final Closing has occurred. In the event the Final Closing shall not have occurred, and provided that the failure to consummate the Final Closing shall not have been caused by the failure of the Sellers to perform in all material respects their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, the Basket and Cap shall be reduced such that the Basket shall equal two tenths of one percent (0.2%) of the actual purchase price received by the Sellers (either from the Buyer Parties or through a release from the Subsequent Closing Escrow Amount), and the Cap shall equal five percent (5%) of the actual purchase price received by the Sellers (either from the Buyer Parties or through a release from the Subsequent Closing Escrow Amount).

(c) The Sellers shall have no right of contribution or other recourse against any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or their directors, officers, Employees, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representatives, assigns or successors for any Third Party Claims asserted by Buyer Indemnified Parties, it being acknowledged and agreed that the covenants and agreements of the Acquired Companies are solely for the benefit of the Buyer Indemnified Parties.

(d) The Sellers and the Buyer Parties agree that all indemnification payments under this Article VIII shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party net of any insurance coverage that may be available to the Indemnified Party, the Acquired Companies or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e) The Sellers and the Buyer Parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to thisArticle VIII as an adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price for U.S. federal income and all other relevant tax purposes.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, “Buyer Parties” shall not include CBTC or CBTC PA for purposes of thisArticle VIII.

(a) this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no further force or effect (except for thisSection 9.2 andSections 9.3 (Expenses) and9.7 (Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial), which shall remain in full force and effect following such termination); and

(b) neither Party shall have any liability or obligation to the other in respect of this Agreement;provided that:

(i) if the Transaction fails to close as a result of a breach of this Agreement by either Party, the breaching Party shall be fully liable to the other Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually incurred by such other Party in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the carrying out of the provisions of this Agreement, so long as the Party seeking such costs and expenses is not itself in breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and is ready, willing and able to close the Transaction; and

(ii) each Party shall be fully liable to the other Party for any breach of any provisions of this Agreement that survive the termination hereof.

9.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Sellers and the Buyer Parties shall each bear their own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

9.4 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Each of the Sellers irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints John R. McWhirter as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact (the “Sellers’ Representative”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the transfer of such Seller’s Membership Interests to the Buyers in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and to act on behalf of such Seller in connection with any matters concerning, amendment of, waiver under or litigation involving this Agreement or any claim for indemnification pursuant toArticle VIII and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as such Sellers’ Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the power:

(i) to take all action necessary or desirable in connection with the waiver of any condition to the obligations of the Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to terminate this Agreement if the Sellers are entitled to do so;

(ii) to negotiate, execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, statements, certificates, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that, upon request by the Buyers, such Seller shall execute and deliver any such documents which the Sellers’ Representative agrees to execute);

(iii) to give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received under this Agreement and to receive service of process in connection with the any Claims under this Agreement; and

(iv) to take all actions which under this Agreement may be taken by the Sellers (including underArticle VIII hereof) and to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Seller which the Sellers’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as such Seller could do if personally present.

(b) John R. McWhirter hereby accepts his appointment as Sellers’ Representative.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Representative on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant toArticle VIII; and (ii) each Buyer Party, each Buyer Indemnified Party and each Seller shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller by the Sellers’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller by the Sellers’ Representative, as fully binding upon such Seller. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.8 hereof shall constitute a decision of the Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Sellers; and the Buyer Parties may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers. The Buyer Parties are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative.

(d) The Sellers recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted inSection 9.2(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and will not be terminated by any act of any Seller or by operation of law; (ii) may be delegated by the Sellers’ Representative; and (iii) shall survive the death or incapacity of each of the Sellers.

(e) If the Sellers’ Representative shall die, resign, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities hereunder, the Sellers shall (by consent of those Persons holding at least a majority of the Membership Interests prior to the Initial Closing (excluding, for purposes of this calculation, any Membership Interests held by the Sellers’ Representative)), within ten (10) days after such death, disability or inability, appoint a successor to the Sellers’ Representative (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Buyers) and immediately thereafter notify the Buyers of the identity of such successor. If after the death, incapacity or resignation of the Sellers’ Representative, a successor Sellers’ Representative has not been appointed by Sellers within fifteen (15) days after a request by the Buyers, the Buyers may appoint a new Sellers’ Representative from among Sellers to fill the vacancy by notice to Sellers of such appointment. Any such successor shall succeed the Sellers’ Representative as Sellers’ Representative hereunder. If for any reason there is no Sellers’ Representative at any time, all references herein to the Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Sellers.

9.5 Specific Performance. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the Buyer Parties and that the Buyer Parties will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, including the Sellers’ obligation to sell the Membership Interests to the Buyers, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise. Each of the Sellers further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

9.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware.

9.7 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court of the State of Delaware or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Subject to rights of appeal, each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices inSection 9.9. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

9.8 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the Schedules, Exhibits and Attachments hereto), the other Transaction Documents and any other agreements contemplated hereby or thereby constitute the entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

9.9 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), or (ii) one Business Day following the day sent by nationally recognized overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses (or to such other address as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision):

SECTION 5. Rights and Powers. Holder may, without obligation to do so, exercise one or more of the following rights and powers with respect to the Pledged Collateral:

(a) accept in its discretion, but subject to the applicable limitations ofSections 10(a) and(c), other property of Maker in exchange for all or part of the Pledged Collateral and release Collateral to Maker to the extent necessary to effect such exchange, and in such event the money, property or securities received in the exchange shall be held by Holder as substitute security for this Note and all other indebtedness secured hereunder;

(b) perform such acts as are necessary to preserve and protect Holder’s interest in the Pledged Collateral and the rights, powers and remedies granted with respect to such Pledged Collateral by this Note; and

(c) transfer record ownership of the Pledged Collateral to Holder or its nominee and receive, endorse and give receipt for, or collect by legal proceedings or otherwise, dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to the Pledged Collateral, provided and only if there exists at the time an outstanding Event of Default.

Any action by Holder pursuant to the provisions of thisSection 5 may be taken without notice to Maker. Any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in connection with any such action shall be payable by Maker and form part of the indebtedness secured hereunder as provided inSection 17.

So long as there exists no outstanding Event of Default, Maker may exercise all member rights and be entitled to receive any and all regular cash distributions paid on the Pledged Collateral. Accordingly, unless an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, all materials pertaining to the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to Maker at the address set forth in Section 18(a);provided,however, if an Event of Default has occurred hereunder and is continuing, any or all Pledged Collateral may be registered, without notice, in the name of Holder or its nominee, and thereafter Holder or its nominee may exercise, without notice, all voting and limited liability company rights, any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription, or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, all as if Holder were the absolute owner thereof.

Any cash sums that Holder may receive in the exercise of its rights underSection 5 shall be applied to the payment of this Note and any other indebtedness secured hereunder, in such order of application as Holder deems appropriate. Any remaining cash shall be paid over to Maker.

SECTION 6. Duty to Deliver. Any new, additional or different securities that may now or hereafter become distributable with respect to the Pledged Collateral by reason of any equity split, spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of equity interests or similar rearrangement or by reason of any consolidation, merger, exchange of stock, conveyance of assets, liquidation or similar reorganization, or otherwise, including the CBTC and CBTC PA Units (as defined in the Amended and Restated Operating Agreements of CBTC and CBTC PA) received by Maker in exchange for the Pledged Collateral in the Roll-up, shall, upon receipt by Maker of any certificates therefor, be promptly delivered to and deposited with Holder as part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder. Such securities shall be accompanied by one or more properly endorsed stock power assignments.

SECTION 7. Care of Collateral. Holder shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral, but shall have no obligation to initiate any action with respect to, or otherwise inform Maker of, any conversion, call, exchange right, preemptive right, subscription right, purchase offer or other right or privilege relating to or affecting the Pledged Collateral;provided,however, that Holder will notify Maker of any such rights of Maker to protect against adverse claims or to protect the Pledged Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market value. Holder shall not be obligated to take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral requested by Maker unless the request is made in writing and Holder determines that the requested action will not unreasonably jeopardize the value of the Pledged Collateral as security for this Note and other indebtedness secured hereunder.

Holder may at any time release and deliver all or part of the Pledged Collateral to Maker, and the receipt thereof by Maker shall constitute a complete and full acquittance for the Pledged Collateral so released and delivered. Holder shall accordingly be discharged from any further liability or responsibility for the Pledged Collateral so released and delivered, and the released Pledged Collateral shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this Note. However, any and all releases of the Pledged Collateral shall be effected in compliance with the applicable limitations ofSections 10(a) and10(c).

SECTION 8. Payment of Taxes and Other Charges. Maker shall pay, prior to the delinquency date, all taxes, liens, assessments and other charges against the Pledged Collateral, and in the event of Maker’s failure to do so, Holder may at its election pay any or all of such taxes and charges without contesting the validity or legality thereof. The payments so made shall become part of the indebtedness secured hereunder and until paid shall bear interest at the minimum annual rate, compounded annually, required to avoid the imputation of interest income to Holder and compensation income to Maker under U.S. federal tax laws.

SECTION 9. Transfer of Collateral. In connection with the transfer or assignment of all or part of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (whether by negotiation, discount or otherwise), Holder may transfer all or any part of Holder’s interest in the Pledged Collateral, and the transferee shall thereupon succeed to all the rights, powers and remedies granted Holder hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral so transferred. Upon such transfer, Holder shall be fully discharged from all liability and responsibility for the transferred Pledged Collateral. With respect to any Pledged Collateral not transferred, Holder shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies provided herein.

SECTION 10. Release of Collateral. Provided that (i) all indebtedness secured hereunder shall at the time have been paid in full or cancelled and (ii) there does not otherwise exist any Event of Default, the Pledged Collateral shall be released from pledge and returned to Maker in accordance with the following provisions:

(b) Any additional Pledged Collateral that may hereafter be pledged and deposited with Holder (pursuant to the requirements ofSection 6) with respect to the Membership Interests pledged hereunder shall be released at the same time the particular Membership Interests to which the additional Pledged Collateral relates are to be released in accordance with the applicable provisions of thisSection 10. Under no circumstances, however, shall any Membership Interests or any other Pledged Collateral be released if previously applied to the payment of any indebtedness secured hereunder.

(c) In no event shall any Membership Interests be released pursuant to the provisions ofSections 10(a) or10(b) if, and to the extent, the fair market value of the Membership Interests and all other Pledged Collateral that would otherwise remain in pledge hereunder after such release were effected would be less than the unpaid balance of the Note (principal and accrued interest).

SECTION 11. Representations and Warranties. Maker represents and warrants to Holder that:

(a) The information contained inAttachment I, which is attached to and a part of this Note, is complete and correct in all material respects.

(b) Maker is the owner of all legal and beneficial interests in and to the Pledged Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, except for those granted to Holder.

(c) Maker has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Note and to incur and perform the Secured Obligations provided for herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action of the appropriate governing body and equity holders of Maker.

(d) This Agreement has been properly executed and delivered and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of Maker and is fully enforceable against Maker in accordance with its respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and secured parties, and general principles of equity regardless of whether applied in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(e) There is no provision of any organizational documents or other similar document pertaining to the organization, power or authority of Maker, no provision of applicable laws in any material respect, no provision of any existing material agreement, mortgage, indenture or contract binding on Maker or affecting its property that, in each case, would be breached or violated by, conflict with or in any way prevent the execution, delivery or carrying out of the terms of this Note.

As such, Maker shall (and shall cause its affiliates) to take such reasonable actions, including in its respective capacity as a member or investor in a Subject LLC, as requested in good faith by Holder and so as to cause assets that are “real estate” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(4)) to comprise no less than 85% of the assets of such Subject LLC at the end of each quarter.

SECTION 13. Lost or Mutilated Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, Maker shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note, a new Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to Maker.

(c) the failure by Maker to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained this Note and the failure to cure such default (if curable) within sixty (60) days after receipt by Maker of a notice of default specifying such failure; or

(d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises enters (x) a decree or order for relief in respect of Maker in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or (y) a decree or order adjudging Maker a bankrupt or insolvent, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or

(e) Maker consents to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of Maker in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against Maker; or

(g) Maker files a petition seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable bankruptcy law.

SECTION 15. Remedies on Default.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all obligations under this Note shall bear interest at the applicable default interest rate set forth inSection 2(b). If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (d), (e), (f) or (g) ofSection 14) shall occur and be continuing, Holder shall, without any kind of presentment, demand, protest or any kind of notice, each of which are expressly waived by Maker, be entitled to (i) declare all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration to be immediately due and payable, (ii) reduce any claim to judgment; and/or (iii) pursue and enforce any of Holder’s rights and remedies available pursuant to any applicable law or agreement including, without limitation, foreclosing all liens and security interests securing payment thereof or any part thereof. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (d), (e), (f) or (g) ofSection 14occurs and is continuing, then this Note shall ipso facto become and be due and payable immediately in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date this Note becomes due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder.

(b) In addition to any other remedies set forth herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:

(i) Holder shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws. Upon demand by Holder, the Maker shall assemble the Pledged Collateral not in Holder’s possession and make it available to Holder, at a place designated by Holder.

(ii) Any or all Pledged Collateral may be registered, without notice, in the name of Holder or its nominee, and thereafter Holder or its nominee may exercise, without notice, all voting and limited liability company rights, any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription, or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, all as if Holder were the absolute owner thereof.

(iii) Any written notice of the sale, disposition or other intended action by Holder with respect to the Pledged Collateral which is sent by regular mail, postage prepaid, to Maker at the address set forth inSection 18(a), or such other address of Maker that may from time to time be shown on Holder’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale, disposition or other action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Maker. Holder may alternatively or additionally give such notice in any other commercially reasonable manner. Nothing in this Note shall require Holder to give any notice not required by applicable law.

(iv) Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral will be applied by Holder to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner of application as Holder may from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion determine.

(v) Maker recognizes that Holder may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable federal and state laws (collectively, “Securities Laws”). Holder may, therefore, in its discretion, take such steps as it may deem appropriate to comply with such Securities Laws and may, for example, at any sale of the Pledged Collateral consisting of securities restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention, including, without limitation, a requirement that the persons making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction of Holder that they are purchasing such securities for their account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any thereof. Maker covenants and agrees to do or cause to be done promptly all such acts and things as Holder may request from time to time and as may be necessary to offer and/or sell the securities or any part thereof in a manner which is valid and binding and in conformance with all applicable Securities Laws and other laws.

(vi) In addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Note, Holder may (but shall be under no obligation to), without notice to Maker, and Maker hereby irrevocably appoints Holder as its attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, in the name of Holder or in the name of Maker or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Holder, but at the cost and expense of Maker and without notice to Maker: (A) require any account debtor or other obligor on any of the Pledged Collateral to make payments thereon directly to Holder, with Holder taking control of the cash and non-cash proceeds thereof; (B) compromise, extend or renew any of the Pledged Collateral or deal with the same as it may deem advisable; (C) make exchanges, substitutions or surrenders of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral; (D) copy, transcribe, or remove from any place of business of Maker all books, records, ledger sheets, correspondence, invoices and documents, relating to or evidencing any of the Pledged Collateral or without cost or expense to Holder, make such use of Maker’s place(s) of business as may be reasonably necessary to administer, control and collect the Pledged Collateral; (E) demand, collect, receipt for and give renewals, extensions, discharges and releases of any of the Pledged Collateral; (F) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Pledged Collateral; (G) settle, renew, extend, compromise, compound, exchange or adjust claims in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or any legal proceedings brought in respect thereof; (H) endorse or sign the name of Maker upon any items of payment, securities, powers related to certificated securities, assignments, notices, or other writing relating to or part of the Pledged Collateral and on any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an account debtor or obligor; (I) take any other action necessary or beneficial to realize upon or dispose of the Pledged Collateral or to carry out the terms of this Note; (J) have a receiver appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction to take possession of the Pledged Collateral (Maker hereby consenting to the appointment of such a receiver and agreeing not to oppose any such appointment); or (K) without notice or demand to Maker, set off and apply against any and all of the Secured Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held or owing by Holder or any of Holder’s agents or affiliates to or for the credit of the account of Maker or any guarantor or endorser of the Secured Obligations.

SECTION 16. Non-Recourse Obligations. Maker’s payment obligations under this Note shall be non-recourse to Holder and payable only out of the Pledged Collateral and the amounts paid hereunder and out of any collateral as may hereafter be given as security for this Note, and Holder shall have no claim, remedy or right to proceed (at law or in equity) against Maker or any of Maker’s affiliates, partners or assignees, for any sum or sums owing on account of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or for any other liability of any nature whatsoever, from any source other than the Pledged Collateral;provided,however, that nothing in thisSection 16 shall be deemed to release or impair the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, Holder’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral or to preclude Holder from resorting to the Pledged Collateral in case of any default hereunder or from enforcing any of its rights under this Note or in respect of the Pledged Collateral. All rights and remedies of Holder under this Note and any other documents entered into in connection herewith or any applicable statute or rule of law shall be cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available to Holder. Holder may exercise its rights and remedies successively or concurrently, and no single or partial exercise by Holder of any right hereunder or under any agreement or guaranty given as security for this Note or pertaining hereto, and no delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right and shall not preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights.

SECTION 17. Costs of Enforcement. In the event of the breach by Maker of any provision of this Note or the occurrence of an Event of Default, Holder shall be entitled to proceed to protect and enforce its rights hereunder by appropriate judicial proceedings and Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Maker shall reimburse Holder for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the protection and enforcement of its rights hereunder and collection of all amounts owing hereunder plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

ARTICLE IV - MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

Section 4.1Managers; Senior Chief Executive Officer.

(a) The Company will be managed by a Board of Managers, which initially shall consist of two Managers (the “Managers”). The parties hereto agree that the initial Managers shall be the Senior Chief Executive Officer of the Company and, for so long as Campus Crest and its Affiliates hold at least a 48% Participating Percentage in the Company, a Person designated by Campus Crest. The initial designee of Campus Crest shall be Ted Rollins. Each Manager shall serve until his or her earlier resignation, Incapacity, or death. The Campus Crest designee may be removed solely by Campus Crest and shall be replaced by a Person designated by Campus Crest at any time, with no action by the Members. At such time as Campus Crest and its Affiliates no longer own at least a 48% of Participating Percentage in the Company, the Campus Crest designee shall cease to be a Manager and the sole Manager shall be the Senior Chief Executive Officer. Upon the death of John R. McWhirter, the Campus Crest designee shall be the sole Manager or, if Campus Crest is no longer entitled to designate a Manager at such time, the Board of Managers shall consist of two Persons elected by the Members, as provided inSection 4.1(c).

(b) Notwithstanding the forgoing, at such time as Campus Crest holds at least an 88.9% Participating Percentage in the Company, Campus Crest shall be entitled to designate the Senior Chief Executive Officer who shall automatically and without requirement for further action by the Members succeed to such position. Subject to the following sentence, any designation of the Senior Chief Executive Officer by Campus Crest shall in no way affect the position of John R. McWhirter as Manager. At such time as Campus Crest holds a 100.0% Participating Percentage in the Company, the Campus Crest designee shall be the sole Manager.

(c) At such time as the Members shall be entitled to elect the Managers pursuant to the last sentence ofSection 4.1(a), each Manager shall hold office for a term of three (3) years and until a successor shall have been designated and qualified by the Members or until he or she shall have died, resigned, or become Incapacitated; provided that a Manager may serve successive terms without limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in all elections of Managers, each Member shall have one vote regardless of the number of Units held by such Member and, if a husband and wife are both Members of the Company, such husband and wife shall be considered one Member, and allocated one vote, for purposes of electing or removing Managers.

(d) The Managers shall have exclusive authority to manage the operations and affairs of the Company and to make all decisions regarding the business of the Company, subject only to those matters which are reserved for the vote or approval of the Members by the terms of this Agreement (by the vote herein specified) or by the terms of the Act. Subject to the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Managers shall have the right to delegate to one or more Members the rights and powers of management and any action taken by the delegate within the scope of authority granted to him, which shall be defined in a separate written agreement, shall constitute the act of, and serve to bind, the Company and its Members.

(e) Subject toSection 4.1(b),John R. McWhirter shall be Senior Chief Executive Officer of the Company until his resignation, Incapacity, or death. Thereafter, there shall no longer be a Senior Chief Executive Officer of the Company unless the Board of Managers shall determine to appoint a Person to that office. The Senior Chief Executive Officer shall have the authority to manage the day-to-day operations and administrative matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the execution of contracts in the name and on behalf of Company and any Subsidiary, in each case subject to the general oversight of the Board of Managers and the other provisions of this Agreement, including the requirement that all Major Decisions be approved by all Managers.

Section 7.2Indemnification of Prevailing Party in a Lawsuit. To the extent that a Member, Manager, employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to inSection 7.1 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall also be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(a) Any item of expense attributable to depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery with respect to any asset of the Company shall be in an amount which bears the same ratio to the Book Value of such asset at the beginning of the applicable period as the federal income tax deduction for depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery with respect to such asset for such fiscal year or other period bears to the adjusted tax basis of such asset at the beginning of such applicable period; provided that if the federal income tax deduction attributable to depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery for such fiscal year or other period with respect to any asset is zero, the item of expense attributable to depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery with respect to such asset for such applicable period shall be determined with reference to the Book Value of such asset as of the beginning of such applicable period using any reasonable method determined by the Managers.

Any restoration of such adjusted tax basis pursuant to Code Section 50(c)(2) occurring as the result of any recapture of previously allowed investment tax credit with respect to any Company property shall be treated as Company income and shall be allocated in the same ratio in which the investment tax credit (or qualified investment in Code Section 38 property the disposition of which gave rise to such restoration of adjusted tax basis) was originally allocated.

(d) All expenditures of the Company not deductible in computing its taxable income and not properly chargeable to a capital account, and any otherwise nondeductible organization and syndication expenses of the Company (as described in Code Section 709), shall be treated as Company expenses.

(e) Revenue of the Company which is exempt from federal income tax shall be included in the Net Book Profits or the Net Book Losses of the Company without regard to the fact that such revenue is not includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision, any items which are specially allocated pursuant toSection 9.4 hereof shall not be taken into account in computing Net Book Profits or Net Book Losses.

Section 9.3Allocation of Net Book Profits and Net Book Losses.

(a)Net Book Profits and Net Book Losses from Operations. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth inSection 9.4, except as provided inSection 9.3(b), remaining Net Book Profits and Net Book Losses shall be allocated as follows:

(i)Net Book Profits from Operations. Net Book Profits from operations for any fiscal year shall be allocated:

(A) First, in the same proportions as the aggregate Net Book Losses (if any) for all previous years was allocated among the Members pursuant toSection 9.3(a)(ii)(B), until the aggregate Net Book Profits allocated to each Member pursuant to thisSection 9.3(a)(i)(A) for such year and all previous years is equal to the aggregate Net Book Losses allocated to such Member pursuant toSection 9.3(a)(ii)(B) for all previous years; and

(B) Thereafter, to the Members in accordance with their respective Distribution Percentages.

(ii)Net Book Losses from Operations. Net Book Losses from operations for any fiscal year shall be allocated:

(A) First, in the same proportions as the aggregate Net Book Profits (if any) for all previous years was allocated among the Members pursuant toSection 9.3(a)(i)(B), until the aggregate Net Book Profits allocated to each Member pursuant to thisSection 9.3(a)(ii)(A) for such year and all previous years is equal to the aggregate Net Book Profits allocated to such Member pursuant toSection 9.3(a)(i)(B) for all previous years; and

(B) Thereafter, to the Members in accordance with their respective Distribution Percentages.

(b)Net Book Profits and Net Book Losses attributable to a Capital Transaction.

(i) If the Company has Net Book Profits attributable to a Capital Transaction for any fiscal year (determined prior to giving effect to this clause (i)), each Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than its Target Capital Account shall be allocated items of Company expense or loss attributable to a Capital Transaction for such fiscal year equal to the difference between its Partially Adjusted Capital Account and Target Capital Account. If the Company has insufficient items of expense or loss attributable to a Capital Transaction for such fiscal year to satisfy the previous sentence with respect to all such Members, the available items of expense or loss attributable to a Capital Transaction shall be divided among such Members in proportion to such difference.

(ii) If the Company has Net Book Losses attributable to a Capital Transaction for any fiscal year (determined prior to giving effect to this clause (ii)), each Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is less than its Target Capital Account shall be allocated items of Company gain or income attributable to a Capital Transaction for such fiscal year equal to the difference between its Partially Adjusted Capital Account and Target Capital Account. If the Company has insufficient items of income or gain attributable to a Capital Transaction for such fiscal year to satisfy the previous sentence with respect to all such Members, the available items of income or gain attributable to a Capital Transaction shall be divided among such Members in proportion to such difference.

(iii) Any remaining Net Book Profits or Net Book Losses attributable to a Capital Transaction (as computed after giving effect to clauses (i) and (ii) of thisSection 9.3(b)) (and to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes hereof, items of income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to a Capital Transaction) shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts and Target Capital Accounts for the period under consideration. To the extent possible, each Member shall be allocated a pro rata share of all Company items allocated pursuant to this clause (iii).

Section 9.4Allocations. The following special allocations of income, gain, loss and expense shall be made notwithstanding the provisions ofSection 9.3 hereof.

(a)Deficit Capital Account Allocations. Subject to the remaining provisions of thisSection 9.4, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), no allocation of expenses or losses shall be made pursuant toSection 9.3 hereof to the extent such allocation would cause or increase a net deficit balance in a Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the period to which such allocation relates. Such expenses and losses shall instead be allocated among the other Member(s) not subject to this limitation in accordance with their relative Participating Percentages. For purposes of this paragraph (a), the following rules shall apply:

(i)each Member’s net deficit balance in his respective Capital Account shall be determined by adding to such Capital Account balance the amount of such Member’s share (as determined pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2) of the Total Minimum Gain of the Company as of the end of the period with respect to which such determination is being made; and

(ii)in determining whether an allocation of loss or expense would cause or increase a net deficit balance in a Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the period to which such allocation relates, the initial balance in such Member’s Capital Account shall be reduced by the items described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

(b)Qualified Income Offset Provision. If a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution under this Agreement which causes or increases a net deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the period to which such adjustment, allocation or distribution relates, such Member will be allocated items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such net deficit balance as quickly as possible. The rules set forth in subparagraph (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of thisSection 9.4 shall apply for purposes of determining whether any adjustment, allocation or distribution would cause or increase a net deficit balance in any Member’s Capital Account.

(c)Special Allocations of Nonrecourse Deductions. In compliance with applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2, allocations of Nonrecourse Deductions shall be made among the Members in accordance with the Participating Percentages of the Members.

(d)Minimum Gain Chargeback Provision. If there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain of the Company (as determined pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)) during any period, then each Member shall be allocated items of income and gain in accordance with the provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f).

(e)Special Allocations of Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any provision inSections 9.3,9.4(a) and9.4(b) hereof, in compliance with applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1), allocations of Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be made among the Members in accordance with the ratios in which the Members bear the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Liabilities to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable (determined in accordance with the provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2(a)).

(f)Partner Nonrecourse Liability Minimum Gain Chargeback Provision. If there is a net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Liability Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)) during any period, then each Member shall be allocated items of income and gain in accordance with the provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).

(g)Subsequent Allocations. The provisions of Paragraphs (a) through (f) of thisSection 9.4 are intended to comply with the provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2) and 1.704-2, and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Any special allocations of items of income, gain, loss or expense made pursuant to thisSection 9.4 shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and expense pursuant toSection 9.3 hereof, so that the net amount of any item of income, gain, loss and expense allocated to each Member pursuant toSection 9.3 hereof and thisSection 9.4 shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the amount of such items of income, gain, loss and expense that would have been allocated to such Member pursuant toSection 9.3 if the special allocations of income, gain, loss or expense required by thisSection 9.4 had not been made.

(h)Preferred Return. All or a portion of the remaining items of Company gross income or gain for the year shall be specially allocated to Campus Crest, but only to the extent of prior distributions to Campus Crest pursuant toSection 9.1(b)(i)(A)and then only to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to thisSection 9.4(h), until the cumulative amount allocated to Campus Crest pursuant to thisSection 9.4(h) for such year and all previous years is equal to the [$13 million].⁶

⁶ This amount needs to be adjusted to the relative amount of the $13 million preference amount allocable to a particular LLC.

(i)Depreciation. An amount of Depreciation for each fiscal year shall be specially allocated to Campus Crest equal to Campus Crest’s Participating Percentage with respect to such fiscal year multiplied by the Company’s federal income tax deduction attributable to depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery with respect to the Company’s assets for such fiscal year. The remaining amount of Depreciation for each fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Members other than Campus Crest pro rata in accordance with their Participating Percentages with respect to such fiscal year. For example, assuming that in a fiscal year there is $100 of Depreciation and $40 of federal income tax depreciation, and assuming further that Campus Crest’s Participating Percentage is 48%, then Depreciation shall be allocated to Campus Crest in the amount of $19.2 and the balance shall be allocated among the other Members in proportion to their relative Participating Percentages. For the sake of clarity, this Section 9.4(i) shall not affect any cost recovery or expenses or items allocable or assigned to Campus Crest as a result of an adjustment pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code.

Section 9.5Federal Income Tax Allocations. The allocations of income, gain, loss and expense made pursuant toSections 9.3 and9.4 hereof are allocations of book income which are made for accounting purposes to determine the respective balances in the Capital Accounts of the Members and to establish the rights of the Members among themselves with respect to the assets of the Company. These allocations may be different from the allocations among the Members of the income, gain, loss, deduction, tax preference and tax credits of the Company for federal income tax purposes. Allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, tax preference and tax credits of the Company for federal income tax purposes for each taxable year shall be allocated to each Member as follows:

(a)General Rules Regarding Allocations of Income, Loss, Etc. In general, for federal income tax purposes, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and tax preference of the Company for each taxable year shall be allocated to each Member in the same manner as the items of income, gain, loss and expense (as determined pursuant toSection 9.2 hereof) which gave rise to such items of income, gain, loss, deduction and tax preference for federal income tax purposes are allocated to each Member pursuant toSections 9.3 and9.4 hereof.

(b)Special Rules Where Tax Basis Differs From Book Value. If the Company’s adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes of any of its property differs from the Book Value of such property at the beginning of any taxable year, in determining each Member’s distributive share of the taxable income or loss (or items thereof) of the Company, each item of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated to each Member in such a manner as selected by the Managers as will take into account (as required by Code Section 704(c) and any applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder or by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b)(4)(i)) the difference between the adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes of such property and its Book Value, all as of the beginning of such taxable year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Members and Manager hereby irrevocably agree that the Company shall elect to use the “traditional method” as described in Treasury Regulations §1.704-3(b) with respect to allocations relating to property contributed (or deemed contributed) by the Members, or as a result of a revaluation of property pursuant toSection 8.4(b).

Section 9.6Allocations on the Transfer or Issuance of an Interest in the Company. The items of income, gain, loss, expense, deduction, tax preference and/or tax credit allocable under any ofSections 9.3,9.4 and9.5 hereof to any interest in the Company which may have been transferred or issued during any period shall be allocated among the persons who were the holders of such interest during such period in a manner which takes into account the varying interests of the Members in the Company during such period, all in accordance with a method selected by the Managers and permissible under Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 706(d); provided that the allocation of gain or loss on the disposition of any property in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest shall, to the extent not prohibited under such regulations, be allocated among the Members who are Members on the date the event giving rise to such gain or loss occurs in accordance with the provisions ofSections 9.3,9.4 and9.5 hereof; andprovidedfurther that the Company shall use the “interim closing of the books method” with respect to a redemption of Campus Crest pursuant toSection 18.2.

Section 9.7Allocations of Nonrecourse Liabilities.The Members’ shares of Company nonrecourse liabilities shall be determined in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3. “Excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated first among the Members up to the amount of built-in gain that is allocable to such Member on section 704(c) property (as defined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(3)(ii)) or property for which reverse section 704(c) allocations are applicable (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(6)(i)) where such property is subject to the nonrecourse liability to the extent that such built-in gain exceeds the gain described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.753-3(a)(2) with respect to such property. To the extent that the entire amount of excess nonrecourse liabilities are not allocated pursuant to the prior sentence then any remaining amount of the excess nonrecourse liability shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with the Participating Percentages of the Members.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Note), the Transfer of any Membership Interest comprising the Pledged Collateral under the applicable Promissory Note to Campus Crest or any of its Affiliates holding an interest in such Promissory Note shall be permitted. In the event an Affiliate of Campus Crest holds an interest in such Promissory Note, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Promissory Note, such Affiliate shall be admitted as a Member of the Company.

Section 15.2Right of First Offer.

(a) Subject to the rights provided bySections 15.3 and15.5 and any applicable securities laws, if a Member proposes to Transfer any interest in the Company, the Member shall first offer such interest to the other Members in accordance with the following provisions (the Member making such a proposal, a “Transferring Member”):

(i)The Transferring Member shall provide each other Member with prior written notice (an “Offer Notice”) of its desire to Transfer such interest to be transferred (the “Offered Interest”). The Offer Notice shall specify the amount of Offered Interest the Member wishes to Transfer, the proposed purchase price for such Offered Interest and any other terms and conditions material to the sale proposed by such Member.

(ii)Each Member shall have a period of up to twenty (20) days following receipt of the Offer Notice to elect to purchase [(or to cause one or more of its Affiliates to purchase)] all or any portion of such Offered Interest on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice by delivering to the Transferring Member a written notice indicating the amount of Offered Interest over which such right is exercised.

(iii)If any Member elects to purchase (or to cause one or more of its respective Affiliates to purchase) any of the Offered Interest which are the subject of the proposed Transfer within the applicable twenty (20) day period, such purchase shall be consummated within fifteen (15) days after completion of such twenty (20) day period. If the Members elect to purchase (or to cause one or more of their respective Affiliates to purchase) an aggregate amount of Offered Interest that exceeds the amount of Offered Interest offered pursuant to the Offer Notice, each Member shall purchase such amount of the Offered Interest as is equal to their relative Participating Percentage over the Participating Percentages of all Members who elect to purchase the Offered Interest. To the extent that the Members fail to elect to purchase all of the Offered Interest within the applicable twenty (20) day period, the Transferring Member may Transfer such unpurchased Offered Interest to any third party at any time within ninety (90) days following such period at a price which is not less than the purchase price and on terms and conditions no more favorable to the transferee than those specified in the Offer Notice.

(iv)The provisions of this 15.2(a) shall not apply to Transfers of any interest in the Company to permitted transferees made in accordance withSections 15.3 and15.5 or to other Transfers of interests in the Company otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(b)Payment Terms; Security. The total purchase price for the Offered Interest under paragraph (a) of thisSection 15.2 shall be paid in cash or by certified check at closing on the purchase of the Units; except that at the option of any of the Members electing to purchase the Offered Interest or some portion thereof, as the case may be, up to 70% of the total purchase price paid by any such Member may be paid by the promissory note of the purchaser with principal payable in monthly installments to the extent, and within five (5) days, of cash distributions received by the purchasing Member from the Company over a period of three years or such shorter time as the note is paid in full. Payments shall commence the first full calendar month after the closing date and the unpaid principal balance of the promissory note shall bear interest from the date of the note at the lowest rate of simple interest that would result in there being no unstated interest for purposes of Sections 483 and 1274 of the Code. The remaining principal balance, if any, shall be paid on the third anniversary of the closing date. Each promissory note shall provide that if any installment of principal or interest is not paid when due, and if the default continues for a period of 15 days after notice, then, at the election of the holder, the full amount of the principal and interest remaining unpaid shall become immediately due and payable, and the maker shall pay reasonable attorney’s fees to the holder in the event suit is commenced because of default. The maker of the note shall have the right to prepay the principal without penalty at any time and from time to time. As security for any Units purchased pursuant to thisArticle XV and paid pursuant to a promissory note, the purchasing Member shall secure its obligations under the promissory note by a pledge of the purchased Units.

(c)Abandonment of Transaction. At any time before the Members have notified the Transferring Member that they have elected to purchase all of the Offered Interest, the Transferring Member may terminate the rights of the Members to purchase the Offered Interest under this Section by delivering to the Members a notice stating that the Transferring Member has abandoned the Transfer that was the subject of the Offer Notice. A subsequent Transfer of interest by the Transferring Member shall not be made without a new offering to the Members by the Transferring Member in compliance with the requirements of this Section, unless as otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

Section 15.3Purchase on Death of a Member. Upon the death of a Member (the “Deceased Member”), the Member may by will Transfer all of such Member’s interest to the Member’s immediate family member or a trust or other entity formed for estate planning purposes. As a condition precedent to any such Transfer, the proposed transferee shall execute a joinder wherein he or she agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. If no such Transfer is made, the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company shall be purchased by the Company in accordance with the provisions of thisSection 15.3 as follows:

(a) Within ninety (90) days after the death of a Member, the personal representative for such Member (the “Personal Representative”), shall deliver to the Company a written notice (i) setting forth the number of Units owned by such Member and offering to sell to the Company all such Units at the greater of (A) the Appraised Value of such Units determined in accordance withSection 15.6 herein, and (B) the aggregate amount of cash the applicable Member is entitled to receive upon exercise of the First Purchase Option, the Second Purchase Option and the Third Purchase Option (a “Transfer Notice”) or (ii) advising that the Deceased Member has Transferred his interest by will to an immediate family member or a trust or other entity formed for estate planning purposes and providing such information as is reasonable and necessary to verify said Transfer and the compliance of said Transfer with the requirements of this Agreement. If no Personal Representative has been appointed or qualified within thirty (30) days after a Member’s death, the Company may file a petition in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a personal representative of its choice for such Member. Thereafter, a closing to purchase all of the Membership Interest of the Deceased Member shall be held not more than 120 days after the death of the Deceased Member.

(b)Payment Terms. The total purchase price for the Membership Interest purchased under this Section shall be paid in accordance with the provisions ofSection 15.2(b) herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company must pay to the Personal Representative, in current funds on the date of settlement, an amount equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the total proceeds received by the Company, if any, from policies of insurance on the life of the Deceased Member; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Personal Representative any insurance proceeds in excess of the purchase price. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the purchase price shall be retained by the Company and utilized as the Managers shall determine is in the best interest of the Company.

(c)Purchase of Life Insurance. The Company shall use its best efforts, but shall not be required, to maintain and hold available for purposes of this section life insurance at a reasonable cost on the lives of the Members in an amount sufficient to pay the reasonably anticipated Appraised Value of the interest owned by each Member, separate and apart from any life insurance that the Company may maintain for any other purpose.

The Company and the Members agree that the proceeds of the policies subject to this Agreement shall be applied toward the purchase price set forth above. The Company may from time to time procure additional policies on the lives of the Members and make such policies subject to this Agreement, in order that, should the Company increase substantially in value, the cash necessary to consummate a purchase may be kept at a reasonable amount relative to such value. Other policies may be substituted for any policies made subject to this Agreement and any policies subject hereto may be withdrawn as determined by the Members. Any policies subject to this Agreement, or any addition, substitution or withdrawal of such policies, shall be endorsed on a Schedule to this Agreement and signed by the Company and the Members.

Section 15.4Involuntary Transfers. In the event that the Membership Interest owned by any Member shall be subject to sale or other Transfer by reason of (i) bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, (ii) distribution of marital property following divorce, or (iii) distraint, levy, execution or other involuntary Transfer, the Member owning the affected interest shall give the Company and each other Member written notice thereof promptly upon the occurrence of such event, stating the terms of such proposed transfer, the identity of the proposed transferee, the price, value or consideration, if readily determinable, on the basis of what interest is proposed to be transferred, and the amount of interest to be transferred. The Company and other Members shall have the same right of first offer, respectively, with respect to the interest proposed to be transferred as are set forth in this Agreement.

Section 15.5Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the last sentence ofSection 15.1(a), a Member may transfer a Member’s Units to (a) a Person whose equity owner(s) is the Member or (b) a Person whose equity owner(s) or beneficiaries are not the same as the Member, but only if the Member provides such evidence as may be reasonably requested by the Company that the transfer is being made for estate planning purposes and the equity owner(s) or beneficiaries of the Person to whom the Units are transferred are the Member’s immediate family member or a trust or other entity formed for estate planning purposes. As a condition precedent to any Transfer permitted by thisSection 15.5, the proposed transferee shall execute a joinder wherein such transferee agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, each Member (other than Campus Crest) shall be entitled to pledge its Membership Interest to Campus Crest as security for a loan made by Campus Crest in connection with Campus Crest’s initial investment in the Company.⁷

Section 15.6Appraised Value. The value of a Member’s Units and the price to be paid therefore, in the event of a Transfer for which valuation under this Article XV is required, shall be the appraised value, determined in accordance with thisSection 15.6 (the “Appraised Value”). In such event, the transferring Member or his or her estate or personal representative (the “Selling Member”) or the Company may notify the other parties of an intent to value such Member’s Units by appraisal. The Members may agree on the Appraised Value within 20 days from the delivery of the notice of election to establish the appraised value. If the Appraised Value is not agreed upon by the Members within 20 days from the delivery of the notice, the Appraised Value shall be equal to the amount such Member would receive under its Participating Percentage pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof, upon a deemed liquidation of the Company and sale of all of its assets at fair market value as determined by two appraisers, one to be appointed by the Selling Member and one to be selected by the other Members. Each appraiser shall have performed at least two business appraisals for a state or federal court or a financial institution within the last two years, and shall be disinterested, objective, and without any business dealings with any of the Members prior to appointment. The Appraised Value shall be the average of the valuations determined by such appraisers; provided, however, that if the difference between the valuations is more than 50% of the lower valuation, then the Appraised Value shall be equal to the average of such valuations plus 10% of such average; and further provided that if a party fails to select an appraiser within 30 days from the date of receipt of the written request for appointment of an appraiser, or if an appraiser fails to submit a valuation to all Members and the Company within 60 days from the date of his or her appointment, then the Appraised Value shall be the valuation of the other appraiser.

⁷ NOTE: Lender consents obtained in connection with the Roll-up or the initial closing should include consent for pledges of units to Campus Crest.

Section 15.7Closing. The closing of any purchase and sale of an interest hereunder shall take place at the principal office of the Company (or such other location as may be agreed to by all parties involved).

Section 15.8Admission of New Members. Except in the case of a Person to whom Units are Transferred after compliance with the provisions of this Article XV or to whom additional Membership Interests are issued in accordance with this Agreement, no new person or entity shall become a Member of the Company without the approval of the Managers.
